3 Blow, as is wont, in the new MoonWith Trumpetslofty sound, [ 10 ]Th' appointed time, the day wheronOur solemn Feast comes round.

4 This was a Statute giv'n of oldFor Israel to observe,
A Law of Jacobs God, to hold [ 15 ]From whence they might not swerve.

5 This he a Testimony ordain'dIn Joseph, not to change,
When as he pass'd through Ægypt land;The Tongue I heard, was strange. [ 20 ]

6 From burden, and from slavish toyleI set his shoulder free;
His hands from pots and miriesoyleDeliver'd were by me.

7 When trouble did thee sore assaile, [ 25 ]On me thendidst thou call,
And I to free thee did not faile,And led thee out of thrall.
I answer'd thee in * thunder deepWith clouds encompass'd round; [ 30 ]
I tried thee at the water steepOf Meribarenown'd.
